The children gathered around their teacher, Ms. Lily, as she sat on a vibrant bean bag. Today, she had something special to share with them. "Good morning, everyone! I want to talk to you about something wonderful," she began, her voice soft and inviting. The children looked up with wide eyes, curious about the day's lesson.

Ms. Lily opened the book to a page showing a little boy with tiny devices on his ears. "This is Sam, and these are hearing aids," she explained, pointing at the picture. "Hearing aids help Sam hear better, just like glasses help us see better." The children nodded, some adjusting their own glasses as they listened.

Ms. Lily continued, "With his hearing aids, Sam can hear all the fun sounds around him, like laughter, music, and even when we call his name." She paused, letting the children absorb her words. "Isn't that amazing?" she asked, her eyes twinkling with enthusiasm. The children nodded eagerly, their faces lighting up with understanding.

One little girl raised her hand, her brows furrowed in thought. Emma, with her bright red pigtails, asked, "Can we help Sam hear better too?" Ms. Lily smiled warmly, "Yes, Emma! By speaking clearly and being patient, we can help Sam feel included and happy." The children exchanged smiles, their hearts full of newfound empathy.

Ms. Lily invited Sam to join the circle. "Let's play together and show Sam all the fun sounds he can hear with us," she suggested, her voice cheerful. The children welcomed Sam with open arms, eager to share their world with him. Together, they laughed and played, the room filled with joyful sounds.

Ms. Lily gathered the children once more, a smile on her face. "Remember, everyone is special in their own way," she said softly. "And with a little kindness, we can make sure everyone feels happy and included." The children nodded, their hearts full of understanding and friendship as they waved goodbye to Sam, ready to return the next day.
